Hi allI get the following error message when I try to run a script.boyden> dirsetup
ERROR: Newline while processing string
"# Set the environment"
line 26: boyden$dirsetup.cl
called as: `dirsetup ()'Here is the script
[code:1:6e5b0af50c]

[/code:1:6e5b0af50c]I did a search on the error, but mine does not seem to correspond the the other newline error that I saw. I went through all the files for the external boyden package that I build, but could not find the error. The script did not give any errors until I added the "If-else" statements for the file sorting into lists.ThanxRegards

Pat,The error message is wrong about where it's happening. Your problem is a missing closing quote when setting 'imagelist'-Mike

Hi MikeI feel silly for making such a mistake. I can't believe that I would have missed something like that. Might be due to the closing deadlines.Sorry for the inconvenience.Thanx
